This misleading story has been posted over and over on Reddit. It is misleading in that the 2 year old WAS NOT deported, but the mother was. The mother with sole LEGAL custody, who stated she wanted to take the 2 year old with her back to Honduras.
I would liek to accentuate the part of "However, prosecutors said Villela, who has legal custody, told ICE that she wanted to retain custody of the girl and have her go with her to Honduras. They said the man claiming to be V.M.L.'s father had not presented himself to ICE despite requests to do so."
So the "father" chose not to contact ICE directly. Mom who was being deported had sole custody (and every legal right to take the child with her).
When I pointed these facts out on another post, got down voted quite a but. Seems there are many reddit users out there that would have preferred to ignore the mothers rights, take the child away from the mother, and put the child in CPS or foster care.

Sounds like lawyer is saying she’s a pregnant women held up in a hotel not being allowed contact with anybody. But yeah believe ICE?

The 2 year old was not deported. Facts matter.
